Microsoft's Bing search engine will use the company's Silverlight browser-based media player to change the way it presents images of results.
The company has unveiled a feature it calls Visual Search that presents images, then allows you to scroll through them and eliminate pictures to refine your search.
Like Google, Bing …

images.google.com

New name. Same search engine.

Is there a REAL difference between Bing and the old Windows Live Search? As far as I've read to this day it's done the exact same thing: Ad revenue for Microsoft more than actual search results. I'll keep using Google since it won't put up "sponsored results."

Contact the official leaks dept. immediately

Idiocracy

"Microsoft said on its Bing blog that its research showed that consumers process results 20 per cent faster than with text-only results. "It's clear images play a big part in helping consumers with a variety of search activities," the company said."

Anybody remembers hospital scene from Idiocracy ?

Anyway Cooliris (http://www.cooliris.com/) has been doing it for ages. Try their Cool Previews add-on for Firefox. Brilliant for fast checking Google results without opening tons of tabs or going back-forward.
